See Past Foundation-Initiated Grants The Direct Services Grant Program (DSGP) provides funding to non-profit organizations who address food insecurity and housing/shelter needs for Maine people experiencing poverty.
While the DSGP has historically supported a broad range of essential services, the scope of the program has been narrowed in 2026 to respond to an unprecedented level of need for food and shelter in Maine communities, as well as significant reductions in federal and state resources. The DSGP awards both program/project funding and general operating support.
General operating support grants are limited to those organizations whose sole mission is to serve Maine residents who are experiencing poverty. The John T. Gorman Foundation’s 2026 Direct Services Grant Program (DSGP) will open on Monday, June 1.
Applications will be accepted through 5:00 PM EST on Monday, June 22. Go here for more information. See Past Direct Services Grants Grantee & Applicant Login 200 Middle Street, Suite 804 Website Design & Development by Northeast Media Collective 2026 Direct Services Grant Program
